The Busybody

Just as cooks pray for a good crop of young animals and fishermen for a good haul of fish, in the same way busybodies pray for a good crop of calamities or a good haul of difficulties that they, like cooks and fishermen, may always have something to fish out and butcher. (Plutarch, "On Being a Busybody")

A Giant Review

Here's a treat for holy week: Deane Galbraith's review of Casey's Jesus of Nazareth, focusing particularly on the book's final chapter, "Did Jesus Rise from the Dead?" The review will be served up in seven parts, one for each day this week, and I'll link to them as they roll out. Readers may recall that Casey placed at #4 on my top-10 pick list.
